So, why I am I writing about Ashes of Life like this on the Soliloquium site? Fact is, I’ve been lucky enough to get the opportunity to do the extreme vocals on “Seasons Within”. The last few years have been very productive when it comes to getting my vocals on other people’s music and this is one of those projects.

Ashes of Life’s debut has been a really cool project to be involved in. Similarly to Soliloquium, it treads the line between extreme metal and more atmospheric sounds. The end result is great and it’s hard to believe it’s a debut album. There’s a lot of emotion and the songs are also very catchy and dynamic. Ashes of Life should definitely appeal to most Soliloquium fans and other doom metal listeners.
